Is moderation in alcohol consumption realistic, or is it just a source of stress and anxiety?
In today's episode, Amanda talks about why you might want to break up with alcohol once and for all. Drawing from her personal journey from 'sober curiosity' to full acceptance, she challenges listeners to question their relationship with alcohol. Not all unhealthy relationships are abusive. The same applies to your relationship with alcohol — It's not always about extremes but about what serves our well-being.
Ultimately, the goal isn't to avoid or control a vice but to outgrow it, freeing mental space and allowing for true personal growth. You will be amazed by the freedom and empowerment that comes from letting go!

[00:01 - 03:30] Compare Alcohol to An Actual Relationship
Settling for moderation can often lead to a significant mental struggle, especially for those with 'all or nothing' personalities.
Recognizing one's own tendencies is key to addressing the issue.
It's important to recognize when a relationship, even with substances, is more detrimental than beneficial.
[03:31 - 10:31] Not All Bad Relationships Are Abusive
Moderation with alcohol can be as challenging as trying to maintain a "casual" relationship with an ex-lover.
The idea of having a moderate relationship with alcohol often stems from a place of not wanting to confront the possibility of living without it.
We seek the middle ground, hoping to benefit from the perks without the pitfalls. However, moderation is not practical, possible, or beneficial for everyone.
Moderation can become a mental struggle and hinder personal growth.
To truly understand and redefine one's relationship with alcohol, it's crucial to introspect, heal past wounds, and focus on personal development.
[10:32 - 11-34] You Deserve to THRIVE
The journey to redefine your relationship with alcohol is about living with fulfillment and clarity. It's not about punishment or deprivation.
You deserve to be the best version of yourself!
